Big Loop Ramble
1) Sawtooth and Patrick Ramble Again! On the heels of the Northwest Rendezvous Sawtooth and I headed out again for a tour of a big chunk of Colorado’s majestic high country. Paul called this The Big Loop Ramble, and you can find a fine account of the adventure on his Thread by that name on the Hunting Forum. I hope these images will add to his rendering.

Re: Big Loop Ramble
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Is that a 4 man or a 6 man tipi?
Re: Big Loop Ramble
MrFisherman, that is a six man tipi. We used a medium stove. Worked out quite well.

My, my. Makes a fellow yearn for the comfortable plenty of Summer.

Re: Big Loop Ramble
That looks like mule deer country, did you run across any? Did you ramble up by the snow fields?

Re: Big Loop Ramble
Thanks for the reply Patrick, I have a 4 man on the way. It is the old style... I am hoping it isn't too small for me. That 6 man looks pretty roomy and would allow my 5' 9" frame to stand upright to dress even with a roaring fire.
It will be here in 6 more days and I can hardly wait.
Still think I need a liner for use in the rainy PNW. Netting would be nice as would a stove.
Rather than hijacking this thread maybe I'll start another one for sugestions and advice.
I sure appreciate the videos. It would be really cool to have videos available with each model actually being used.
I can see myself owning more than one of these.... the only question is wether I can do it and remain married lol.
Re: Big Loop Ramble
Bodark, it is good mule deer, and elk, country. For some reason we didn't collide with many, even tho being there a longish time and covering plenty of ground. As we hunters know that sometimes is the case.
MrFisherman, as time allows I think we would like to increase the video library on more of the gear. Thanks for the reminder.
Re: Big Loop Ramble
Patrick and Saw: The 5th picture down-what am I looking at? Something is crossed [X] in the tipi. Are you guys testing a geezer thing I should be aware of? Chair maybe? Eyes playing tricks on me?
Build a man a fire and he is warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life.

Ed,
Looks like a Field Chair.
